I remember you mentioned your parents were offshore. As main applicants, your parents would have to enter first right? You as dependent can't enter Australia as PR before your parents??? Depends whether that condition is attached to the grant. If it’s not, people can enter in any order 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has to. You either get it approved and given a QR code before you arrive, or have to fill in the paper form at customs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathss56 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Some visa categories do not now have to leaves Oz to get visa grant. BUT parent visas( eg 143 ) are NOT included in the list. No surprise there, feeling totally discriminated against!! https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/covid-19-visa-concessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would they be so blatantly discriminaotry? It's shocking. Like as if to say parents are like S*** and don't really matter. If anyone it is the parents who are most vulnerable in the current COVID situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigtrev Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The Minister who decides this is Alan.Tudge.MP@aph.gov.au Can I ask you all to email him to ask that parent visas are included. Why should we be discriminated against? All we want is to be with our families. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
